You must be several years younger than me.Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10339178864363140977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13303109.post-23114022454020125452021-10-14T12:11:15.476+08:002021-10-14T12:11:15.476+08:00Thank you for sharing information on Selegie Integ...Thank you for sharing information on Selegie Integrated School and its history. It is precious to many of us who are in our 50 or 60's and we still keeping in touch with some teachers and classmates till today.<br />My family of 5 brothers and sisters were graduated from same Selegie while they were at Short St. <br />The same mini bus driver Uncle took care of our transport from Primary 1 to 6 and he was a fatherly figure to us and we were scared of him as young children. <br />Good memories of the two Fish shops opposite the schools and porridge stalls along Short Street. <br />The Teachers were so caring and strict with us. Remembered learning the habit of brushing our teeth along the drain near the gates inside the school compound. Do not throw rubbish on the floor if you cannot find a bin as part go "Keep Singapore Clean" campaign. A habit formed till today. So much for now.Alex Ang KTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13303109.post-44448189398874300612014-04-10T21:30:11.706+08:002014-04-10T21:30:11.706+08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13303109.post-63455109164461156622013-01-16T09:29:09.805+08:002013-01-16T09:29:09.805+08:00Hi Monica,

All new buildings in that area now though our pri school still stands as the old dame. The principal was Mr Oei who was always carrying a thick cane. Heard he passed away many years ago(his daughter is one pamela oei from mediacorp if i remember correctly) .Wonder u will think of setting up an alumni where we can connect for old time sake.Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12982513992789560160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13303109.post-81113668587308179732012-05-21T01:12:17.891+08:002012-05-21T01:12:17.891+08:00Hi Evelyn, thank you for your interesting comment....Hi Evelyn, thank you for your interesting comment. Now that you talk about it, I remember I did the exact same thing, i.e. spread chilli sauce on the big prawn crackers and eating it.

In '68, I became very close to the principal. He encouraged me and treated my friend and I to a lunch after our PSLE. One of our teachers came along too. The big lifts were what I was proud of. No other schools had those then. We were scheduled to use the 2 canteens. I always look forward to going to the upper level canteen. I'll buy the big prawn crackers and spread it with chilli sauce from the noodle stall.Evelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12460052653234545267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13303109.post-48024024061884652212012-01-29T04:33:40.601+08:002012-01-29T04:33:40.601+08:00thank you for your interesting articles.

"Selegie" in Malay refers to a wooden spear sharpened and hardened by fire. Legend has it that battles were fought here in the 14th century. This area used to be an Indian enclave and many of the old shophouses were even built by Indian convicts. The few of these that remain are easily recognised: simple 2-storey structures with timber beams and bas-relief mouldings on the pediments over the windows.<br /><br />The 1928 David Elias Building on the corner where Short Street and Middle Road meet Selegie Road was built by a prominent Jewish settler.Thimbuktuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04495581875211093357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13303109.post-19567642237994980422011-12-18T17:55:53.856+08:002011-12-18T17:55:53.856+08:00Arnold Schwarzenegger said:
